Prognostic Significance of Micturition Disturbances After Acute Stroke

Abstract: New-onset poststroke UI with impaired awareness of bladder needs is a strong and independent risk factor for poor outcome at 3 months. This probably reflects more serious brain damage, affecting sustained attention and information processing. Valid clinical tools to detect such dysfunction in stroke victims are needed. Clinical classification of poststroke UI is likely to improve management.

“…91 Impaired awareness of urinary incontinence is correlated with mortality 92 and the need for nursing home care 3 months after stroke. 93 On a positive note, many patients recover continence after stroke. Because of the risk of skin breakdown, the social stigma, and the burden of care associated with incontinence, management of bowel and bladder continence is an essential part of the rehabilitation process.…”

“…100 Poststroke urinary incontinence must also be addressed given that when persistent and associated with other disabilities and institutionalization, it is a strong predictor of survival and recovery at 3 months. 290,291 Management choices are based on the type of poststroke incontinence (eg, neurogenic bladder, urinary retention, hyperreflexia with urge incontinence). Because few RCTs have evaluated treatments for poststroke urinary incontinence, Borrie 292 advocated a stepwise approach; that is, nursing should initiate management via a behavioral bladdertraining program (eg, offering the commode, bedpan, or urinal every 2 hours while the patient is awake and every 4 hours at night; limiting fluids in early evening), progressing to medication only when needed, and as a last alternative, surgical intervention.…”

“…When excluding the 31% of the 315 patients who had prestroke UI (admitted within 10 days after stroke), the admission prevalence of new-onset UI was 21% [16], or about half the prevalence of UI if prestroke UI and indwelling catheterization were not excluded (40%-45%) [14•, 15, 19].…”
